Issue

Changes affecting all four performance indices

Final Decision

The phase-in passing standards have been replaced with a standard progression approach, which will begin in 2015–16 and continue until 2021–22, the year final Level II standards are scheduled to be in place.

The 2016 accountability system will include the performance results for grades 3–8 mathematics, including progress measure results for grades 3–8 where applicable. The student performance standard for grades 3–8 mathematics will be the 2015–16 standard.

Key Topics for 2016 Accountability

Issue

The inclusion of the STAAR Accommodated and STAAR Alternate 2 results

Final Decision

STAAR A results will be included in all indices. STAAR Alt 2 results will be included in Index 1, Index 2, and Index 3.

The inclusion of STAAR A and STAAR Alt 2 results encourages districts to administer the appropriate assessments to students with disabilities regardless of the impact on state accountability ratings.

Issue

Ratings criteria

Final Decision

For 2016 accountability, districts and campuses must meet three out of four performance index targets. To receive a Met Standard or Met Alternative Standardrating, a district or campus must meet the target on each index for which it has performance data for evaluation.

Because the progress measure for STAAR A and STAAR Alt 2 will be included for the first time, it is difficult to anticipate how this will affect the Index 2 outcomes. In addition, this addresses the concern with the limited availability of progress measures on the EOC assessments.

Graduation Plan Component and Foundation High School Plan Transition

Final Decision

For 2016 accountability, two diploma-plan rates will be calculated as shown below; the one that gives the district or campus the most points for the graduation plan component of Index 4 will be used.

Key Topics for 2016 Accountability

Issue

TSI portion of postsecondary component

Final Decision

It will include the results of the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) assessment in the postsecondary component and give credit for every student who

Meets the TSI requirement in reading on the TSI assessment, SAT, or ACT

and

Meets the TSI requirement in mathematics on the TSI assessment, SAT, or ACT

A student must meet the TSI requirement for both reading and mathematics but does not necessarily need to meet them on the same assessment.

Meeting the TSI requirement in writing on the TSI assessment or ACT will not be used for accountability in 2016 but will be reported.

Calculation of postsecondary component of Index 4

Final Decision

With the inclusion of the TSI results, the postsecondary component evaluated in 2016 accountability for the 2014–15 graduates is as shown below:

graduates meeting TSIcriteria in both

ELA/readingand mathematics (TSI,

SAT, or ACT)

or

graduates who completed and

earned credit for at least two

advanced/dual-credit courses in the current

or prior school year

or

graduates who were enrolled in a coherent

sequence of CTE courses as part of a four-year plan of study to take two or more CTE courses for three or

more credits

Index 1: Student Achievement

Construction: Since Index 1 has only one indicator, the total index points and index score are the same: Index Score = Total Index Points. Total index points is the percentage of assessments that meet the Level II Satisfactory Standard.

Each percentage of students meeting the Level II Satisfactory Standard contributes one point to the index. Index scores range from 0 to 100 for all campuses and districts.

Index 2: Student Progress

Index 2: Student Progress provides an opportunity for districts and campuses to receive credit for improving student performance independent of overall student achievement.

Subjects evaluated: Progress outcomes for reading and mathematics assessments only

Student Group: All Students, students served by special education, ELL students identified as LEP or students who are in their first or second years of monitoring after exiting ELL status, and seven racial/ethnic groups

Performance Standards: Level II Satisfactory Standard

Construction: Weighted scores are calculated based on students’ level of performance: one point for each percentage of assessment results that met or exceeded progress measure expectations, one point for each percentage of results that exceeded progress measure expectations aggregated across subjects.

Index 4: Postsecondary Readiness

31

Construction: For AEA campuses and charter districts evaluated under AEA provisions, the Index 4 score is based on two components:

STAAR scores based on the percent of students who meet the Postsecondary Readiness Standard.

Four-, five-, and six-year rates for graduates, continuing students, and GED recipients. If a graduation rate is not available, the annual dropout rate is used.

Index 4 Components for AEA Campuses and Charters Weight

STAAR Postsecondary Readiness Standard 25%

Graduation, Continuers, and GED Rate or Annual Dropout Rate 75%

AECs can also earn bonus points toward their Index 4 score. Bonus points may be awarded for the percentage of students who graduate under certain graduation plans, the percentage of students considered college-and-career ready, and an excluded students credit.

System Safeguards

39

Safeguard Measures and Targets

Reporting for system safeguards disaggregates performance by student group, performance level, and subject area.

Performance rates are calculated from the assessment results used to calculate Index 1: Student Achievement.

2016 targets for the disaggregated system-safeguard results

o STAAR performance target corresponds to Index 1 (60)

o STAAR participation target required by federal accountability (95%)

o Federal graduation rate targets and improvement calculations for 4-year rate (88%) and 5-year rate (90%)

o Federal limit on use of the STAAR Alternate 2 assessments (1%)

Results will be reported for any group that meets accountability minimum size criteria.

Failure to meet the safeguard target for any reported group must be addressed in the campus or district improvement plan.

Performance on the safeguard measures will be incorporated into the Texas Accountability Intervention System (TAIS).

Community and Student Engagement

Since the 2013–14 school year, districts must evaluate community and student engagement for the district and each of their campuses and assign a rating.

Districts must assign a performance rating of Exemplary, Recognized, Acceptable, or Unacceptable based on locally-determined criteria. The performance ratings must be based on criteria developed by a local committee. The agency is not permitted to determine criteria that can be used for these evaluations.

By August 7, districts must report each rating to TEA and the public. TEA will report the performance ratings and compliance status for community and student engagement indicators reported by school districts on the agency website no later than October 1.

Future Accountability Ratings

Statutory Requirement for A–F Accountability Ratings

Beginning with the 2017–18 school year, TEA is required to assign ratings of A, B, C, D, or F to districts and campuses.

Preliminary options for the A–F ratings are under discussion by advisory committees. Final decisions have not been made.
